Typically a few hundred yards, or not at all.

If using the magnetic pistol, you should set running depth 5 or 6 feet below the target. If you're aiming to hit the side of a ship, disable the magnetic trigger and set depth to minimum, or just below the armour belt if you're engaging a warship (you'll need to figure out whether or not a warship has such a belt and how far it extends on your own ).

That said, I've yet to make a succesfull attack with a Mark 14 torpedo using it's magnetic pistol. User beware!

Hope it helps.
